1. Love is freedom, but not the kind of freedom that does not recognize obligations. Love is the obligations that you observe yourself, and the freedom of choice that you give to another person. I think it is important that our love does not become a suffocation for loved ones. Respect your obligations to your loved one, but at the same time allow him to breathe freely.

2.Love means being there when needed, and moving back a little when the space becomes too small for two. Once I was talking to an elderly wise man, I liked his idea: “If a wife says that she is tired and wants to be at the dacha in peace and quiet, my job is to very quietly bring the groceries, leave them on the doorstep of the house and also quietly leave so that she can rest.” ".

3. Love is a responsibility that we voluntarily take upon ourselves. To love is to owe. “I don’t owe anyone anything” is not about love. This other person doesn't owe you anything. Absolutely nothing. And you should. Must care, must be faithful, must serve man. It's about love out of freedom.

4.Love is security. Love means that the person next to you can be real. He is allowed to be weak, allowed to doubt, allowed to be ugly, allowed to be sick, allowed to make mistakes. Hysterics, quarrels, arguments, negative emotions, lack of courage and determination are not a reason to stop loving a person. And is it possible to stop loving someone, if love is a gift that you share with all your heart, without demanding anything in return. Loving a person more than the actions they perform. To be there in times of trouble and in joy, to be always available, to be always in touch. To be someone they know will never betray.

5. Love is maturity and awareness. Love is the understanding that close relationships are impossible without crises, that feelings need time to mature, that love cannot be a continuous holiday, love is the deepest work on oneself, first of all. Love is a series of deaths and new births, love is the exposure of the most vulnerable points, love is the courage to be real, love is the courage to enter uncharted territory.

To love or not is always our personal choice, there is no need to impose it on another person. The beauty of true love is to give from the heart and be grateful that the other is willing to accept it. Anyone who knows how to love is doomed to be happy. The point is not whether you have been loved at least once, but whether you have managed to become so deep and mature that you can live with an awakened heart. Love is light, love is the radiance of the heart, love is the best thing we can give to the world around us. Love it!
